The Perfect Driving Instructor

During my time using the Green Cat School, I have had the pleasure of being taught by Dave, he has been one of the most professional people I have ever met and I give him all the credit for me now being a full fledged driver, he is an excellent teacher to have for anyone starting to drive or even for those picking it up again, you can expect a warm and supportive mentor to guide you through ur journey with kind words and useful remarks, but while that is an important part of the job, his main appeal comes from his enjoyable personality and his dedication to every student, I will be wholeheartedly recommending him to anyone I know who needs Driving lessons in the future, my only regret from the experience is that now we will not be working together anymore, I’ll always appreciate everything you did to help me on this journey. Thank You

Amazing team

I wanted to write a review for David Jonker, my driving instructor from Green Cat, who accepted me within a short period of time. He tried to fit me into classes even when he had other personal things to do, as my test was very close. I was training with someone else, and after three classes, he rejected me, saying that because of my communication, it was not safe for me to drive. David gave me confidence and supported me very well. He even tried to arrange someone for my test as someone else already had the same timing. My wife is also taking automatic training from someone else from Green Cat itself, where she finds it very supportive. Thank you, Dave and the amazing team. I passed my test today.

Alex brought the best in me

Alex has patience, gives clear instructions, very reliable during lessons which was good for my confidence-building, focusing on how to help me pass and become a safe driver. Alex is very punctual, and has a calm demeanor at all times. Really loved all the lessons I did with Alex

Thank you Veronica. I knew from day one you were a fab driver, we just needed to make some small tweaks. Well done, super proud of you! Thank you so much for supporting my other instructors too, they, as am I, are all super appreciative.

Stay safe on the road,

Alex

I would say that Carl is an amazing instructor, he made me feel more confident when driving and always made sure I was comfortable. He was super helpful at all times and I wouldn’t have been able to pass my test without him!

Outstanding Service

I had Dave as my instructor and couldn't recommend him or the driving school enough - I couldn't see myself finding a better driving instructor, honestly. He's well spoken and a great teacher, but also is generally just a fun personality to be around.

There were a lot of useful resources provided (as well as for the theory test) and a great standard of care for each individual student. I can only say thank you for making learning to drive such an enjoyable experience. The only negative thing I can say is now that I've passed, I have no more driving lessons to look forward to.

You want Green Cat to teach you how to drive...

I can't recommend Green Cat highly enough. I had Alex as my instructor and he was amazing. As an older learner with ADHD and Autism, learning to drive came with some pretty big challenges but Alex always took them in his stride and showed compassion and empathy and adapted his style to meet my needs.

I also met a couple of other instructors and they were really friendly as well. Clearly high standards for instructors and you can see those standards passed on to the learners.

Thank you Green Cat! Xx

I had Lexy as my driving instructor

I had Lexy as my driving instructor. She’s kind, supportive and very knowledgeable. She has a strong passion behind her to make sure that I not only passed my test, but that I was confident on the road and in my ability to be a safe driver. Every lesson taught me something new, we had reflections at the end to help Lexy shape my next lessons and tons of extra learning material shared. I honestly don’t think I’d have passed my test without her, and I cannot recommend the school and Lexy enough!

Hi Selina, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It really means a lot! I’m so pleased you felt supported and gained confidence throughout your lessons—that’s exactly what I aim for. You worked incredibly hard and fully deserve your pass, you should be really proud of yourself! Wishing you all the best with your driving and stay safe on the road. 🚗✨ from your instructor Lexi and all The Green Cat team.

I recently passed my driving test!

I recently passed my driving test and I couldnt have done it without my instructor Lexi! From the very first lesson she was very patient and really helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. What I appreciated most was how calm and encouraging she has been even when I made mistakes. I am really grateful for all the support along the way and I would highly recommend Lexi to anyone looking for a reliable patient and professional driving instructor!

Absolutely amazing …

Amazing help from my instructor Carl with not only the actual driving test but helped with theory finding different ways to help me. Showed me different ways to remember how make sure I'm at correct speeds or gears. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first driving school.

My driving instructor- Dave

My driving instructor, Dave, was not only the best driving instructor i could have imagined to have, but an incredible person. Truthful, honest, funny and encouraging. I was looking forward to each lesson, and I got better every lesson. I very much reccoment the green cat driving school, specifically Dave.

My review on Carl at green cat

I started my lessons with Carl at The Green Cat Driving School and I passed this week! He is such an incredible instructor very informative easy to get along with and he gives helpful tips and advice. Carl makes you feel really confident and comfortable behind the wheel. I’m so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an instructor who is patient, knowledgeable and genuinely supportive.
